Watch me. Exploiting people is wrong, even if they're idiots.

Calm down, no one's getting exploited. Many people like trying out new features that aren't available yet for stable releases.

Nobody's being forced into it, you can just decide not to do it. There's no risk or reward for doing so other than because you want to. There's no power imbalance. It's just users deciding they want to do it. It's not exploitation, haha

At best, these people are scabs taking away QA jobs by working for free. If we were talking about a community-driven Free Software project it'd be different, but doing that kind of unpaid labor for a for-profit corporation is toxic and harmful in a systemic way that goes beyond personal choice.

Be me. Like a thing. Find issues with thing. Share those issues with the devs. Dopamine. Find better avenue for sharing issues. Do issue finding in my spare time with my own free will. Get shamed on internet for doing my own thing.

Yeah ok.
